Someone Hacked Photos of Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner and It Is Absolutely Not Okay

Harry's mom even deleted her Twitter account as a result.

This past weekend, Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles had to deal with the very unfortunate reality of someone hacking Harry's mom's iCloud account and stealing more than two dozen photos of them. This isn't an uncommon thing for celebrities, but that doesn't make it okay. We will note that the photos in question weren't sexual in nature (as they so often are) but that doesn't really matter either: the point is that everyone's privacy deserves to be respected, no matter who they happen to be related to.

After the hack, the photos were leaked online, and have been making the rounds on Twitter — enough so that "Anne's iCloud" was even trending for a bit. Harry's mom has since deleted her social media accounts, and Twitter has been removing photos as they're being reported.

It cannot be emphasized enough: stealing other people's personal information, photos, or anything else is never okay, and the idea that because celebrities share parts of their lives with us makes us privy if not entitled to everything about them is not only unfair, it's a dangerous mindset to have. Remember that boundaries are boundaries, and consent is non-negotiable, no matter who you are or what's going on. Having a general sense of respect for other people and their spaces, wishes and preferences is something that we as a society need to do a lot of work on. May instances like these be reminders of how far we have to go.
